absolutely true conversation:

[fox]

boy with clipboard, approaching me as i walk up cornmarket street with obvious don't-talk-to-me purpose:  Excuse me, are you a vegetarian?
me, carrying on walking:  Nope.
boy with clipboard, as i pass by without even stopping:  You look like a vegetarian.

i'm going to choose to believe it means "i notice that you have long straight hair and are not wearing any makeup, which could i suppose make you some sort of leftover hippie-type person, and in my desperation to get someone to sign my petition i'm going to equate 'hippie-type person' with 'vegetarian', hey, where are you going?"  because otherwise, i'm not sure what "you look like a vegetarian" means, when said to someone wearing a leather jacket.

well, you know, many lesbians are vegetarians....

*giggle*

actually, in seriousness it was probably like this: you know that far side cartoon where the guy is lecturing the dog and all the dog hears is "blah blah blah ginger blah blah"? i suspect your conversation sounded like this from the other side--

boy with clipboard, approaching you as you walk up cornmarket street with obvious don't-talk-to-me purpose: I am going to attract your attention as the first step toward getting your signature.
you, carrying on walking: I acknowledge that you spoke to me.
boy with clipboard, as you pass by without even stopping: Ah-hah! We have contact! I am encouraged to continue reading from my script.
